Just when Xu Yi was facing Jiazhu, the sea of clouds, lying high and reading books, enjoying the leisurely stall, Qi Xiongbei walked around in the spacious courtyard of the mansion in the north of the city for almost half an hour.
Finally, a figure flashed in, it was Fang Zheng, a Taoist in blue robe.
Qi Xiongbei finally stopped running around like a headless fly, and raised his bushy eyebrows, "Old Fang, why are you the only one? Mr. Wu, why didn't he come? Can you and I discuss this matter clearly?" ?”
Fangzheng said, "Mr. Wu said that Mr. Xu is so sharp, but he can't understand it. He must be a master of the world. He should let Mr. Xu stand out."
Qi Xiongbei became anxious, "What is this called? Mr. Wu's ability, I have seen it with my own eyes. Even the leader of the alliance said that Mr. Wu's ability to refine weapons is something I have only seen in my life. A mere mountain man, although he was lucky enough to have some achievements, but It’s nothing, anyway, Mr. Wu shouldn’t be discouraged. No matter what, people always come up with a solution.”
Qi Xiongbei attaches great importance to this battle of craftsmen, and it is related to whether he can surpass Yan Jingming in the Justice League and become the first person in the Thirteen Halls.
Because Mr. Wu was the one who introduced him to the Justice League. At that time, Guo Donglin, the leader of the Justice League, personally tested and taught him. For this reason, he won a big prize.
Now, when the Spring City Council wants to select a furnace smelter, all the major business alliances in the city are racking their brains and efforts, and the Justice League is no exception.
All the halls tried their best to recruit the craftsman, but Qi Xiongbei was the only one who remained calm and watched the situation with a smile.
His comfort and confidence all came from Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu not only became the top guest of the Justice League, but also introduced several craftsmen to him.
For example, the blue-robed Taoist Fang Zheng in front of him was introduced by Mr. Wu.
In this way, he firmly gained the upper hand in the battle for recruiting craftsmen from the various branches of the Justice League. Taking this opportunity, he also set a trick for Yan Jingming. Recruited.
Yan Jingming will naturally be in bad luck when his appearance is ugly.
Taking advantage of this shareholder style, Qi Xiongbei easily ran over Yan Jingming. Seeing that Yan Jingming couldn't even keep his position as the shopkeeper of Jingyuexuan, his position as Qi's became more and more stable. But at this time, Xu Yi stepped in and shattered his ambition.
He originally wanted to wait for Mr. Wu to take the initiative to come to him to discuss countermeasures. After all, this was also related to Mr. Wu's interests.
How could he know that Mr. Wu didn't come at all, he sent a Fangzheng, and when he came up, he expressed his desire to retreat three thousand miles, how could Qi Xiongbei accept it.
As soon as Mr. Wu retreated, Mr. Xu made it clear that he wanted to step up, and Yan Jingming naturally rose to the top. The good situation he managed to create would be ruined immediately, how could he accept it.
"Old Fang, tell me the truth, Mr. Wu really wants to retire? He doesn't know what a furnace master's identity means, right?"
Qi Xiongbei stared into Fangzheng's eyes and said coldly.
He forced himself to calm down, and gradually smelled something wrong. There was no reason why Mr. Wu would give in easily. This was not in line with his character, and it was not in his interest. It was not to retreat to advance, forcing himself to charge forward.
Fangzheng sighed and said, "Mr. Wu is not stupid, that's all right, don't ask, there is no benefit in knowing too much, what can we do now that things are like this?" After that, he wanted to leave.
Qi Xiongbei heard the sound of the words, and blocked Fang Zheng's way, "Old Fang, in all fairness, how will I treat you when you come to the Justice League? At this juncture, we must work together instead of tearing each other down. No matter what , you can't ruin our friendship, right?"
Fangzheng stopped in his tracks, and sighed again, "That's you, Old Qi, so I'll tell you secretly that the Xinghai League is already in contact with Mr. Wu."
With a bang, Qi Xiongbei intuitively felt that his forehead was slashed hard by the giant axe.
With a slight swipe, he rushed out the door and disappeared in an instant. Looking at his leaving figure, Fangzheng had an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.
... ... ...
When Qi Xiongbei rushed to the Justice League to settle in Mr. Wu's other courtyard, Mr. Wu was carrying water to water the garden. More than half of the small yard was cut out to make a vegetable garden. Ordinary vegetables grow in this spiritually dense world. The green shoots are particularly strong, the red peppers, purple grapes and green melons are full of excitement.
"Brother Qi, what's the rush!"
Mr. Wu threw the wooden ladle into the bucket and sat down in front of the steps.
Qi Xiongbei swept out a barrier with a wave of his hand, "Brother Wu has really started contacting people from the Xinghai League?"
This is what worries him the most. Once this happens, what if Mr. Wu has a way out and he has no way out.
Mr. Wu frowned, "Fang Zheng?"
Qi Xiongbei's face turned ashen, "It seems to be true. This is how Mr. Wu repaid Qi for his recommendation?"
Mr. Wu looked directly at Qi Xiongbei, "Wu is not an ungrateful person, and what Brother Qi said is not right. It's not that I was in contact with people from the Star Sea League, but that the Star Sea League sent people to look for Wu, and Wu didn't Give them an answer."
Qi Xiong's face remained green, "Even though Brother Wu didn't give an answer, Brother Wu's heart was moved, wasn't he?"
Mr. Wu was stunned and said, "If someone else asks, Wu won't bother to say a word. Although the Justice League has treated me well, but during this time, what I have done for the Justice League is enough to make up for it. But you Brother Qi came to ask, if I lie to you, it would be really dishonest. The conditions of the Star Sea Alliance are very generous, they have three qualifications of furnace masters, and they can give me one. This is clear. Brother Qi , if you were me, how would you choose?"
Qi Xiongbei felt his eyes go black, this is really the bad news of the bad news.
Compared with the Star Sea League, the Justice League is much weaker. There is only one furnace refiner, and it depends on the competition between the major refiners.
If Mr. Xu hadn't stepped in, it is conceivable that the furnace smelter that the Justice League can send must be Mr. Wu.
Now, on the one hand, he is joining the Star Sea Alliance, and he will definitely get a furnace refiner seat; on the other hand, he is staying in the Justice League, and competing with that mysterious Mr. Xu. is unknown.
Whoever chooses, the answer is yes.
Because of this, Qi Xiongbei felt more and more desperate. He couldn't even encourage Mr. Wu to compete with Xu Yi, because these words were meaningless.
Qi Xiongbei stood there in a daze for a long time, until the sun slanted to the west and the evening wind blew, he woke up, and suddenly heard a voice, "Actually, I think it's better for Mr. Wu to stay in the Justice League."
